WTFFF?! 3D Printing Podcast: Digital Manufacturing From Design to Print

Jeffrey McGrew On Adapting 3D Print Furniture Techniques To Today's Demands Oct 08, 2021

3D print furniture is perhaps the best solution to get beds, chairs, tables, and more in the easiest and fastest way possible. This also allows homeowners to help reduce waste and build sustainable properties. Jeffrey McGrew takes this process to another level by achieving more personalized outputs and making customers more involved with their creation. Joining Tom Hazzard and Tracy Hazzard, he shares the different 3D printing methods they are using at Model-No. to produce custom-made but still ergonomic furniture. He talks about the advantages of focusing more on quality over mere quantity, as well as maximizing the limits of wood integration and subtractive fabrication.

3D Manufacturing Sustainability from Supply Chain Disruption to Digital Transformation with Nicholas Smith Jun 30, 2020

Now, more than ever, the world is moving at a breakneck pace. Companies and businesses need to be able to change with it if they want to stay relevant and still be a part of it in the future. But being able to remain relevant is only part of it. One also needs to be sustainable to cope with so many product and material shortages and an increasing demand for eco-friendly products. Joining Tom Hazzard and Tracy Hazzard on the show today is Nicholas Smith, the Director of Operations for HP, Inc. Nicholas gives an eye-opening view of 3D manufacturing sustainability and supply chain management, production, and planning to create business sustainability. He also talks about HP’s initiative to innovate a better way to print, publish, and produce while lowering the environmental impact of printing.
